Overview
Vision Therapy is a doctor-supervised, individualized treatment program designed to correct or improve specific vision problems that cannot be adequately treated with glasses or contact lenses alone. It's like physical therapy for the eyes and brain, using progressive exercises to develop and strengthen visual skills.
Many people have 20/20 eyesight but still struggle with visual tasks because their visual system doesn't work efficiently. Vision therapy addresses problems with eye teaming (how the eyes work together), eye tracking (following moving objects), focusing (changing focus between distances), and visual processing (how the brain interprets visual information).
Vision therapy has been shown to be effective for conditions including convergence insufficiency, amblyopia (lazy eye), strabismus (eye turn), and learning-related vision problems. It can benefit children struggling in school, adults with visual fatigue, athletes seeking performance enhancement, and patients recovering from brain injuries.
